How many of you would choose to have such a house over here?? 😍

Ya, definitely seems like fantasy! We all come across people who wish to have one such house, in the mountains, by the river stream or a snowclad place like Kashmir. But visiting this place and having a closer look made me realise, how different and how difficult life gets!
Meeting your daily needs becomes a challenging task and it takes a great deal of effort to spend a life in a place so influenced by weather going extreme at times! Cheers to these guys ya! 🙌

The Hazratbal Shrine (Urdu, Kashmiri: آستان عالیہ درگاہ حضرت بل‬, literally "Majestic Place" ), is a Muslim shrine in Hazratbal, Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir. It contains a relic, the Moi-e-Muqqadas, believed by many Muslims of Kashmir to be a hairof prophet Muhammad.The name of the shrine comes from the Urdu word Hazrat, meaning "respected", and the Kashmiri word bal, meaning "place". Thus it means the place which is given high regards and is respected among the people.
The shrine is situated on the left bank of the Dal Lake, Srinagar and is considered to be Kashmir's holiest Muslim shrine.

Czot/Girda/Roti
This is a medium sized everyday bread. The simple one. Everyone has it for breakfast with butter or jam. This is prepared by kandur in tandoor (hot oven ) on a daily basis by putting his finger impressions and then places it in tandoor. It’s golden on the upper side and white from below. A Kashmiri’s day is incomplete without czhot. This is one of the things that Kashmiris miss when they are not in Kashmir.
Kashmiris love to have baker’s bread for their breakfast and hence, every Kashmiri colony has one traditional bakery known as ‘Kaandar/ Kandur’. Kandurs can be found everywhere in the cities, every locality will have one atleast. In Kashmir, there is a bread for every season. Bread is an integral part of social customs too – engagements, weddings, birth. Long before dawn, hundreds of baker families (Kandurs ) in the Valley fire up wood tandoors and start making bread. These breads go well with salty pink tea called Nun chai.
